Localities Bid Fund

Localities Bid Fund (£500,000)

We have allocated a total of £500,000 to the Localities Bid Fund for the purpose of piloting participatory budgeting across the Scottish Borders.

This fund is split across the five Area Partnership areas and will support community projects and initiatives using participatory budgeting (public voting). The fund's aim is to achieve local priorities and benefit communities, by supporting community groups to fund ideas and projects which improve the lives of people living in the Scottish Borders.

The fund is also aligned to the themes of the Scottish Borders Community Planning Partnership's Community Plan and the Council's Corporate Plan, and if applicable any locally identified priorities by your local Area Partnership.
